Biography
Lucius Cornelius Cinna was an ally of Julius Caesar and an opponent of Sulla, and he went into exile in Spain before being recalled to Rome by Caesar upon Sulla's downfall. While he strongly disapproved of Caesar's authoritarian nature, he did not participate in the plot to assassinate him on 15 March 44 BC, although, a day before the murder, he gave an inflammatory speech attacking Caesar. On the day of Caesar's funeral, a mob killed the poet Helvius Cinna in a case of mistaken identity, believing him to be the conspirator against Caesar. In 32 BC, Cinna served as suffect consul, and he was never punished for his role in Caesar's death.
